Learning Activity - Marketing 2150 Spring 2020
Chapter 15- Bringing It All Together
Growth Strategies: Where Do We Want To Go?
In this learning activity, we will develop skills related to describing how strategy is developed at the
corporate, business unit, and functional levels in an organization. Knowing where the organization is at the
present time enables managers to set a direction for the firm and allocate resources to move in that
direction. Two techniques to aid in these decisions are the (1) business portfolio analysis and (2) market-
product analysis. The Boston Consulting Group's (BCG) business portfolio analysis uses quantified
performance measures and growth targets to analyze a firm's business units (called strategic business units
or SBUS by BCG) as though they were a collection of separate investments.
